  • Otitis externa and myringitis due to demodicidosis
    Klemm, Eckart ; Haroske, Günter ; Wollina, Uwe
    We report on an 84-year-old woman with chronic pruritic otitis externa and myringitis. Microbiological and mycological investigations failed to establishthe cause, but histology revealed a large ... amount of Demodex mites. Topical treatment for this ectoparasite resulted in a complete remission. The myringitis was eventually treated successfully with myringoplasty. To the bestof our knowledge this is the first case report on Demodex-induced otitis externa and myringitis.
